Free Download Shakedown : The Continuing Conspiracy Against the American Taxpayer By Steven Malanga
2010 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 1566638755 | EPUB | 1 MB
As their infatuation with President Obama fades, millions of Americans anxiously ask, Is this the change we were waiting for? The current administration represents change, for sure, Steven Malanga argues - a momentous transformation of the fundamental structure of American politics. A self-interested coalition of public-sector unions and government-financed community activists (like the young Barack Obama) has become our era's characteristic political machine. In Shakedown, Mr. Malanga shows how this machine's single-minded goal is always bigger government and more public spending. The bill, he says, is now coming due for the relentless rise of this new political powerhouse. He chronicles how public-sector unions and the corrupt political hacks beholden to them have all but bankrupted once-rich states like California and New Jersey. He details the campaigns to undermine the successful and popular 1990s welfare reform and to revitalize the failed, wasteful War on Poverty programs that funnel taxpayer money to the advocacy groups that are integral cogs in the new political machine. And he provides a comprehensive summary of how these same advocacy groups spent decades helping undermine mortgage standards in the name of helping the poor - in the process enriching themselves and enabling the housing meltdown. As Americans anxiously ponder the future direction of their government and their economy, Shakedown explores the questions of who got us in this mess and why we need change - constructive change - more than ever.

Free Download Christina Müting, "Sexuelle Nötigung; Vergewaltigung (§ 177 StGB): Reformdiskussion und Gesetzgebung seit 1870"
Deutsch | 2010 | pages: 295 | ISBN: 3110247941 | PDF | 1,3 mb
Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Darstellung und Untersuchung der in § 177 des Strafgesetzbuches in seiner heute geltenden Fassung zusammengefassten Straftatbestände der sexuellen Nötigung und Vergewaltigung. Dabei folgt die Darstellung dem zeitgeschichtlichen Verlauf der Gesetzgebungsverfahren und Reformdiskussion. Der Untersuchungszeitraum erstreckt sich auf die Zeit ab Inkrafttreten des Reichsstrafgesetzbuches im Jahr 1870 bis hin zum Strafgesetzbuch in seiner heute gültigen Fassung. Den Schwerpunkt legt die Darstellung auf die Untersuchung der Reformarbeiten, die letztlich zur Änderung der Vorschriften über die Strafbarkeit sexueller Gewalt durch das 4. Strafrechtsreformgesetz aus dem Jahr 1973, das 33. Strafrechtsänderungsgesetz aus dem Jahr 1997 und das 6. Strafrechtsänderungsgesetz aus dem Jahr 1998 geführt haben. Die Darstellung schildert ergänzend die jeweils in der Literatur, Öffentlichkeit und Rechtsprechung vorherrschende Reform- und Moraldiskussion. Das Quellenmaterial setzt sich sowohl aus veröffentlichten als auch unveröffentlichten Quellen zusammen. Zur Veranschaulichung werden ferner im Anhang die jeweiligen Gesetzentwürfe und Gesetzesfassungen synoptisch gegenübergestellt. Im Rahmen der Schlussbetrachtung setzt sich die Verfasserin mit den Stärken und Schwächen der als Einheitstatbestand ausgestalteten Vorschrift des § 177 StGB in ihrer derzeit geltenden Fassung auseinander.

Free Download Senèze: Life in Central France Around Two Million Years Ago: Paleontology, Geochronology, Stratigraphy and Taphonomy (Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology) by Eric Delson, Martine Faure, Claude Guérin

The paleontological site of Senèze (Haute Loire, central France) was discovered in 1892 inside a volcanic crater. For over 40 years, local peasant Pierre Philis collected fossils and sold them to French and Swiss museums. The site became world-famous for its well-preserved skeletons of ungulates and carnivores, as well as rare but well-preserved remains of primates and other mammals. It is considered the reference fauna for the late Villafranchian and MNQ 18 biochronological units of European mammalian evolution, but the lack of provenance data made modern research difficult. From 2000-2006, the multidisciplinary Franco-American Senèze Research Project undertook five seasons of major fieldwork, with the goals of clarifying the age, stratigraphy and taphonomy of Senèze, as well as finding additional remains, especially of the less well-known taxa. In this volume, following a history of study and summary of the new fieldwork, four geological chapters consider field methods, stratigraphy, volcanology and dating. Combining argon-argon ages and paleomagnetic calibration, the newly recovered fossils are shown to date between 2.20 and 2.08 Ma, with concentrations ca. 2.20-2.18 and 2.10-2.08 Ma, significantly older than previously thought. Chapters on palynology, ichthyology and ornithology are followed by eight chapters on the fossil mammals. The chapter on biochronology places Senèze among other sites at the start of MNQ 18, which is estimated to end ca. 1.7 Ma. Of some 2200 specimens known from the site, over half are cervids, with bovids, rhinocerotids and equids far behind. According to data from palynology and the habitat preferences of the more common mammals, the paleoenvironment around the Senèze maar would have included forest, woodland and grassland, perhaps in a warmer and moister climate than today. Taphonomic studies revealed that bones often rested a long time under water, lacked any indication of carnivore attack and often displayed pathologies in their joints. It is likely that most of the associated skeletons were preserved undisturbed after large mammals fell into the paleolake and drowned without being able to climb out.

Selected Works of Michael Wallerstein The Political Economy of Inequality, Unions, and Social Democracy

English | 2008 | pages: 482 | ISBN: 0521886880, 0521714850 | PDF | 2,4 mb
Michael Wallerstein was a leader in developing a rigorous comparative political economy approach to understanding substantive issues of inequality, redistribution, and wage-determination. His early death from cancer left both a hole in the profession and a legacy that will surely provide the foundation for research on these topics. This volume collects his most important and influential contributions, organized by topic, with each topic preceded by an editorial introduction that provides overview and context.
